Finish The Semester Strong!
We just passed the 13.5 week mark of first semester. Thanksgiving is next week and Desert Ridge will be closed Wednesday, November 25- Friday, November 27. We hope that everyone has a safe and healthy Thanksgiving. Please visit BUZZ through your parent portal to see your students grades and encourage your student to talk to their teachers about their grades. Our teachers are here to help and want our students to finish the semester strong. See below for some updated bell schedules this week. We also want to remind everyone to continue with our current safety protocols established by the the district and Desert Ridge and remind your student to bring a mask everyday.
Please reach out to your teachers or Desert Ridge administration with any questions or concerns.
